Fortunately that pick is looking worse with every win

Noel Leary. Only played about 20 senior games. Still more than me though. ?

My father is in the team list that day. I just tried to call him to confirm if he played on the momentous occasion and to see if he remembers it but he’s still on the golf course so I’ll have to wait a little I guess.

Yep - that’s the one. Hibberd = comedy gold!

That was good at the time but I thought Hibberd should get it for throwing the ball back to the boundary maggot and “accidentally” having Lamb’s very punchable head in the way.

I've chosen to do some work (and when I say work I mean procrastinate, and look at demonland) instead - that's how little interest I could muster Nasher.

You mean he should receive $1500

Wasn't there a DL poster a little while back who was an employee down at g-long? (It could have been you for my totally destroyed brain cells @brendanor it could have even been on the days of 'ology) Surely whoever it was would have the story of where the little man is at in his prep.

I was at Kingston with my brother-in-law (a norf supporter) and he said to me they were basically full-strength. Preust (spelling??) just wasn't in the 24(??), the only one they were missing was the guy who had the unfortunate run-in with the scooter when on the beers last weekend and Mason Wood. They will definitely be bottom 4. I thought we were missing significantly more quality than them. Viney, Tyson, Jetta, Garlett - but we looked more confident, faster, stronger, more skilled and most importantly "hungry". Hopefully it translates to round 1 and the cats match and then we can all put the nightmare of r23 behind us (and perhaps in time it will be recognised as better to have missed finals because of how hungry the players were in 2018)

Thanks for the interview guys. I’ve watched the YouTube clips above many times already but who needs an excuse to watch brilliance like that again and again and again?

Not sure how many of the 7k you mentioned were freebie 3game members though. My daughter's class were offered a family membership last year for free. Of course I took it but only to take advantage of the entry to the other games. weather forecast isn't great for the weekend but I'll be there with a group of about a dozen family members all supporting the dees

Haven't seen the gameday thread and just saw it briefly alluded to above but WTF was Dixon doing sledging Jetta when he took him over the boundary line? (2ndQ maybe) Could he pick a less deserving person to sledge? Jetta was absolutely magnificent again!

not sure if it was mentioned above (if so sorry I missed it) but he is great at defensive running too. So many players can look quick with ball in hand, or when they think they are a chance to get on the end of a cheap kick for goal, but Jayden has used his speed to close down and effect spoils also. Hard, loves a scrap, flair, blistering speed, cult figure. What's not to love about having him on our team.

The whole back 6

What about Oliver's handball to ANB that led to Jeff's fourth goal? I thought Dermott was going to go all Bruce+Cyril over it every time he re-watched the footage.

Almost. They must have swapped their 2 & 3 votes.

Did someone else listed above drop out? I thought I remembered Wagner playing at Bellerive Oval last year.

I've highlighted the particular point above. After finally getting around to see some more footage of the weekend's disgraceful attempts at umpiring last night I was talking with one of my employees today about the Puopolo in the back call. To show him I pulled up the footage from an AFL website video where a commentator was discussing some of the weekends more contentious decisions with the umpires coach. She the bought up the Hawks v Crows video and he proceeded to say the umpire on the field had to make a judgement call that the crow was lying on puopolo's back at the end of the tackle. The decision was an absolute disgrace and called as such by Roos during the live commentary. Clearly they make up justifications for decisions to suit their ends all the way through the system. (same can be said for the eagles v saints calls where almost exactly the same thing happened to both teams resulting in different on-field interpretations - that amazingly were all judged to be correct decisions in the post-game analysis)

Just heard Brent Stanton on the ABC radio talking about last night and their comeback. He used the term "supplement saga". WTF? As usual no comment from the media.

I only watched from halfway through the 3rdQ but Daisy is an absolute gun. There was a moment late in the game when she got the ball in the back pocket and was so composed in drawing the opposition player before handballing the lookaway to a free teammate that illustrated perfectly her skill level. Great intensity from all on the field too.

I reckon he'd appreciate a good pair of padded knicks after his pretty huge bike ride on the NW Coast of Tassie yesterday.

Probably by saying something like "it's not the cats' fault that none of the other teams would trade them their first round pick for half a packet of three day old twisties and a Geelong third-rounder."

do you think comprehension is still taught in school or is it all "reading between the lines now"? It is very frustrating that posters interpret a quote their own way but still attribute it as a quote.

what did he say CB?

Ray must have been a pretty good player whereas my dad was average at best. (heaps better than me though so I can't sledge him) I think he played about twenty games.
